Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to substantially homogeneous oil-free, fatty alcohol-free hair conditioner base containing as key ingredients a polyethylene glycol (24) cholesteryl ether, a derivative of ethoxylated cholesterol (CTFA name: Choleth-24); and a polyethylene glycol ether of lauryl alcohol (CTFA name: Laureth-4).
- Most conventional hair conditioners are either poorly formulated or too substantive and produce undesirable "build- up" and over conditioning after extended use. In addition, these conditioners required a very delicate and sensitive emulsification/micell formation to form a cationic conditioner base and as a result, the production thereof is both time consuming and costly.
- The prior art conditioner bases, that is, those carrier compositions which accept and dispense hair conditioning reagents, usually contained stearalkonium chloride or its equivalent and as such effectively precluded the use of many anionic polymers known to provide certain desirable properties such as strengthening the hair fibers and improving the hold of the hair.
- A need currently exists for a new conditioner base which overcomes the arduous procedures of the prior methods, eliminates the undesirable build-up on the user's hair which characterized the prior formulations, and which provides a stable product which substantially enhances combing and the feel of the human hair while substantially eliminating those deleterious and unattractive results obtained by prior formulations when used over extended periods of time.
- The present invention is predicated upon fulfilling those needs with a homogeneous water-based clear, safe and effective hair conditioner base which eliminates the oils and waxes heretofore contained in those opaque prior art conditioners which required the presence of fatty alcohols, such as cetyl and cetearyl, and stearalkonium chloride. The present invention further provides a conditioner having surprisingly desirable results when confronted with curl retention and blow drying challenges.
- The present invention is directed to a novel homogeneous water-based, clear, freely pourable, cationic hair conditioner base which is free of both oil and fatty alcohols and when formulated, as hereinafter described, into a finished conditioner, provides a product which materially reduces residual deposits on the hair even after extensive use, enhances curl retention, and resists deterioration of hair by contemporary blow driers. More particularly the present invention provides a new and improved hair conditioner formulation having enhanced conditioning and aesthetic qualities which contains as essential ingredients a derivative of an ethoxylated cholesterol and a polyethylene glycol ether of lauryl alcohol. In addition to improving both the feel and the combability of the human hair with which it is used, the new conditioner base shows high rinseability and substantially no build up even when used over extended periods of time.
- The salient feature of this invention is the unique combination of the derivatives of ethoxylated cholesterol and a polyethylene glycol ether of lauryl alcohol with special cationic polymers which allows other lanolin derivatives, hydrolyzed animal protein, and the like to be readily blended thereinto to enhance the performance thereof without adversely affecting either the clarity or the mildness thereof. These and other additives may be readily employed to add body, shine and manageability to the hair without creating the reagent buildup and its accompanying dinginess which characterized prior art formulations.
- Accordingly, a principal object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved hair conditioner which is both oil abd fatty alcohol free and sustains curl in permanent wave treated hair.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved hair conditioner which avoids the undesirable buildup characterizing repeated use of currently available substantive conditioners.
- A further object of the present invention is to provide an oil free, fatty alcohol free hair conditioner which provides both body and lubricity for easy combing, which allows the incorporation of a variety of anionic or cationic ingredients thereinto without detracting therefrom, and which helps protect hair from frequent use of contemporary blow driers.
- Still another object of the present invention is to provide an improved conditioner base which is water soluble and readily delivers conditioner reagents to the hair to provide the benefits thereof without incurring either eye irritation or the deleterious side and after effects which characterize those conditioners using oils, fatty alcohols, and stearalkonium chloride as delivery media.
- These and still further objects as shall hereinafter appear are readily fulfilled by the present invention in a remarkably unexpected manner as will be readily discerned from the following detailed description of an exemplary embodiment thereof.
- In one practice of the present invention, a composition is formulated by introducing into a batch blender while providing continuous agitation an amount of a polymeric quaternary ammonium salt of hydroxyethylcellulose reacted with a trimethyl/ammonium substituted epoxide (CTFA name: Polyquaternium 10), hydroxyethylcellulose, and purified water and heating the mixture to about 75° C. Thereafter, an amount of polyethylene glycol (24) cholesteryl ether i.e., the polyethylene glycol ether of cholesterol having an average ethoxylation value of 24 (CTFA name: Choleth 24) and a polyethylene glycol ether of lauryl alcohol (CTFA name: Laureth-4) is added while maintaining both the stirring and the temperature. When a homogeneous mixture of the conditioner base is obtained, any of a variety of known conditioning agents can be blended into the mixture as desired to achieve such other end properties as may be desired for the ultimate commercial formulation. Included among such additives found compatible with this base formulation are polyvinyl pyrrolidone ("PVP") for body and hold; Laneth 16 (the polyethylene glycol ether of lanolin alcohol (q.v.) with an average ethyoxylation value of 16) for sheen; propylene glycol for shine, and the like. Cationic conditioning agents which are compatible with the conditioner base hereof include Polyquaternium-5, Quaternium 7 (steapyrium chloride), Polyquaternium-7, Polyquaterniup-11, Quaternium-26, Olealkonium Chloride, Cetrimonium Chloride, quaternized hydrolyzed animal proteins and the like.
- CTFA adopted names, when available, are used throughout this disclosure.

C. 20005.
- Non-ionic moisturizing ingredients useful herein include sodium pyroglutamate (aka sodium PCA) glycerin, soluble collagen, hydrolyzed animal protein, panthenol , and the like. After the desired conditioning ingredients and appropriate preservatives are blended into the batch, the batch is cooled to ambient temperature, the fragrance added, and the formulation is ready for packaging.
- A representative formulation embodying the present invention will contain in percent by weight from 0.1 to 0.8 percent hydroxyethylcellulose (Natrosol®, Hercules); from 0.5 percent to 3.0 percent Laureth-4; from 1 to 4 percent polyethylene glycol (24) cholestrol ether (Choleth 24); from 0.1 to 2 percent of polyethylene glycol (16) lanolin ether (Laneth 16); from 0.4 to 0.8 percent polyquaternium 10; from 1 to 4 percent Quaternium 76 Hydrolyzed Animal Protein (Lexein QX) 3000, Inolex); from 0.2 to 0.8 percent PVP; from 0.1 to 0.15 percent methylparaben, 0.05 percent propylparaben, 0.1 to 0.3 percent imidazolidinyl urea; 2 to 8 percent propylene glycol; 0.2 to 0.5 percent fragrance; and qs purified water.
- Further, viscosity modifiers such as synthetic gum, guar gum and the like have been found both compatible and useful in the formulation hereof.
- Other recognized reagents for hair care products which can be employed successfully in the conditioner base of the present invention and the function they fulfill are: vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymers (PVP/VA) which are film formers, hair thickeners, and hair styling promoters; agents AT845, AT937 and AT958 (also known as copolymers 845, 937 and 958, respectively) which impart a pleasant "feel" and enhance hold and curl retention; silicone glycol copolymers (available as Dow fluids 190 and 193), ethylene oxide polymers (available as Polyox), and Guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride (available as Jaguar C-17), which are detangling agents; keratin amino acids (also known as "Croteins") which improve hair strength and manageability; Quaternium 22 (available as "Ceraphyl 60") steapyrium chloride (EMCOL E607S) and ployquternium 40 (available as "Merquat 100") which enhance manageability and prevent flyaway; and sodium isostearoyl-2-lactylate (available as "Pationic ISL") which provide improved feel and moisture.
- As will appear, the conditioner base of this invention, because of its base, enjoys the versatility of allowing many cationic and anionic ingredients to be added thereto without upsetting either the stability or the balance of the base. Furthermore, as will hereinafter appear, the specific formulation of the present invention provides improved curl retention and blow driability.
- To further aid in the understanding of the present invention, the following examples are presented.
- With continuous mixing, hydroxyethylcellulose and Polyquaternium 10 are dispensed into purified water and heated to 75°C. While maintaining the temperature at 75°C., the desired amount of Choleth 24, Laureth-4, and Laneth 16 are blended into the water-cellulose mixture to form a homogeneous blend. The type and level of specific conditioning agents are then selected and blended into the blend, e.g., Polyquaternium 10, glycerin, PVP and the like. The batch is thereafter cooled to ambient temperature. Thereafter the desired amounts of fragrance and anhydrous ethyl alcohol (e.g. , SD 40), if any, are added and the formulation, shown below by weight percent, is ready for packaging. The formulation provided a clear, freely pourable solution which is free of both oil and fatty alcohol.

was compared with a commercial product (AGREE®, regular conditioner) in a modified Draize Eye Irritation study. The Modified Draize Eye Test (See: 16 CFR 1500.42 and "Recommended Guidelines for Acute Eye Irritation Testing", Interagency Regulatory Liason Group 1981). The tests, performed in accordance with the cited references, involved nine (9) New Zealand albino rabbits whose eyes were adjudged free from occular defects. The test material was instilled into the conjunctival sac of each of six (6) animals, the lids held together for one (1) second, after which the rabbits were returned to their cages. The remaining three animals were tested in the same manner except that the test material was flushed from the eye with 140 ml of water after an exposure period of five (5) seconds. The untreated eye in each rabbit served as a control. Occular irritation was evaluated at twenty- four (24), forty-eight (48), seventy-two (72) hours and, if any occular irritation was present at 72 hours, at seven (7) days in accordance with the grading scale shown below. -
The samples were tested undiluted with 0.1 ml instilled into each eye tested. The results obtained are reported in Table A. The label contents of AGREE® conditioner are: water; cetyl alcohol; stearalkonium chloride; dimethylstearamine; cetrimonium chloride; propylene glycol; hydroxyethyl cellulose; fragrance; preservatives; and FD & C colors. - Additional testing was conducted to compare the conditioner prepared according to Example IV with a commercially available product (AGREE® conditioner). The label contents of AGREE® condtioner are: water; cetyl alcohol; Stearalkonium chloride; dimethylstearamine; cetrimonium chloride; propylene glycol ; hydroxyethyl cellulose: fragrance; Preservatives and FD & C colors. Protocol denominated "Modified CFR Occular Instillation Test", "CFR Primary Skin Irritation Test" and "Acute Oral Toxicity Test" Were employed. Both products passed the primary skin irritation and acute oral toxicity test with little difference in results. In the Modified CFR Ocular Irritation Test, nine healthy New Zealand white rabbits were used. Both eyes were examined at 0 hour and each was assigned a score. 0.2 milliliters of the substance to be tested was instilled into the right eye of each of the nine rabbits. The left eye was untreated and served as the control. For three of the rabbits in each set, the eye was rinsed with normal saline immediately following the administration of the tested substance. Thereafter, both eyes were examined at 24, 48 and 72 hours post-instillation. As shown in TABLE B below, the conditioner embodying the present invention was notably safer and milder (slight redness in only one of nine test animals) than was the commercial product (caused redness and chemosis in five- of nine test animals).
- A conditioner gas prepared according to the procedure of Example I having a composition, in weight percent of:
Purified Water 72.8 % Hydroxyethylcellulose .6 % Polyquaternium 10 .5 % Choleth 24 2.0 % PVP (K30) .4 % Solulan 16 .4 % Laureth-4 1.5 % Methylparaben .15% Propylparaben .05% Imidazolidnyl urea .3 % Propylene glycol 6.0 % Fragrance .3 % SD 40 Alcohol 15.0 % - Like amounts of commercially available conditioners were obtained and all test samples were spiked with fluorescein, a special fluorescent dye. Swatches were prepared with virgin hair and damaged hair (i.e., perm treated). The conditioner was applied to the several hair swatches and after the prescribed time, rinsed therefrom. Measurements were then taken to determine the residue (in percent) remaining on the hair after the pre-wash (rinse). The results using ten swatches and taking the average of three trials are reported in Table C.

- The first (SILKIENCE®, Gillette, Co.) contained water, Ceteth-2 (the propylene glycol ether of cetyl alcohol having the formula (CH₃)(CH₂)14 CH₂ stearalkonium chloride, citric acid, fragrance, stearamine citrate, glyceryl stearate, phenoxyethanol, sodium chloride, stearyl alcohol, monosodium citrate, and FD&C colors.
- The second (CLAIROL®, Clairol, Inc.) contained water. glycol stearate, acetamide MEA, stearalkonium chloride, cetyl alcohol, polysorbate 20, hydrolyzed animal protein, fragrance, hydrolyzed keratin, hydroxyethyl cellulose, preservatives, and FD&C colors.
- The third (AGREE®, S. C. Johnson & Sons, Inc.) contained water, cetyl alcohol stearalkonium chloride, dimethylstearamine, cetrimonium chloride, propylene glycol, hydroxyethyl cellulose, fragrance, preservatives and FD&C colors.
- A first test was conducted to determine the effect of the various test samples on the curl retention of permanent wave treated hair. Hair swatches, treated first with a standard professional salon permanent were alternately shampooed and conditioned with one of the test products. The retention of curl was determined by the overall length of the hair swatch compared to its longest length prior to permanent wave treatment and its shortest length (immediately after the initial permanent wave treatment ). The results reported in Table F below indicate a correlation between curl retention and reduced residue build up.
- Using the same specimens as used in Example IX, a study was conducted to determine whether the efficacy of commercially available conditioners is effected by thermal drying.
- The conditioners were applied to virgin hair tresses and to damaged hair tresses. The virgin hair tresses were purchased from De Meo Bros., Brooklyn, N.Y. and the damaged hair was created by subjecting a portion of the virgin hair with a salon-type permanent wave solution. A total of six tresses, three virgin and three damaged, were used with each conditioner listed. All tresses were washed together in shampoo and lightly towel dried to prevent dripping. While the hair was still wet, the several conditioners were applied according to label directions. In all cases, 1.5 grams of conditioner per hair tress was used.
- After treatment and drying by one of three methods: air dry; hot blow dry; and cold blow dry, the tresses were combed and randomized before submission to six trained evaluators who separately evaluated the tresses for general condition, static, shine, manageability, softness and body. Each was rated on a scale of 0-5 with 5 being the best. The results of the scoring, with the highest score being indicated by an "A" and so on through "D" for the lowest score, on each of the categories are shown in Table G1 - G6, below.
